Cheers Guys Managed to sort it got at the catch from the inside and managed to get the door open. Had a look no obvious problems so good spray with some WD 40. All seems OK.

Hi Got home last night from the Mid Wales Rally stages and found out my back door will not open you can hear the motor turning but the catch will not come up when it does as soon as you go to open the door it goes down. Need to get the panel off but as I can not open the door, There lies the...

Have a bit of a problem. Coming home on Saturday night wiper on the drivers side stopped working:eek:. On closer inspection on Sunday found that the linkage has dropped off. Bit of a boch jod to repair. Any ideas does any one have a second hand one for sale or is it better to buy new. Or can a...

While on the last BCCC event at Walters Arena. I was asked to take two co drivers around the 7 mile course. It was only when I got back to the service area that I was told that some of the other marshals mainly disco drivers did not expect me to get round. Given I only had M&S tyres on. They...

Cheers Guys. Got a Mav 94 so no ABS. May have a word with my local garage to see if they can help could do with a few sencond hand aprts for the brakes. like the metal adjuster for both sides. It only come with the adjusting bars and they are megger expensive £100 each side. Does any know where...

Just a quick question has anyone done a conversion on the back brakes. From drums to discs? Is it possible? Having a bit of a problem with mine. Having difficulty in getting the auto adjust to work and I am having to adjust every couple of months by taking the drums off anf adjusting manual

Had a similar problem when I first engaged 4 wheel drive. Had not used it before on investigation found out the only one hub was locking the other had chewed the spring. May be worth checking that all four wheel are driving

Re furbed my auto hubs a few months ago new spring £3.75 from local factors re greased. All seems OK. Gave it a good try out at the last round of the British Off Road Championship in South Wales, and no problem also lots of 4x4 action with Rally GB.

1 mile outside Beulah.

Going to fit a second battery over the winter ready for next year. Not to worried but was wondering if it is possible to fit new seals and how diffcult it would be.

Have a small problem with my Mav 2.7td. Have just got back from 6 days with Welsh Rally GB. Noticed that when I have the Mav running on idle for about 1/2 hour. (Need to do this as I run 2 radios during the rally). Once I start off there is a lot of white smoke clears after a while 2-3 mins...

Got the spring from my local factors. Will get the part number. He had no problem. I just showed him what I wanted from the manual and he ordered.

Had the same problem stripped both hubs and found that on of the springs had broken. Replaced cost £3.75p. Works now

more bad news Factors phoned to say that the adjusters do not come with springs so you have to buy the spring kit for £37. So over £100 per side. Only need the spring to hold the auto adjuster onto the shoes. I am going to try Miners as Trevor use to race 4x4 and is a good friend of a friend...

Went into local factors they can only get the kit direct from ford £75 each.

Living in Mid wales managed to get full comp with Swinton for £350 with £100 excess. Not bad as they would not take my full no claims in to account as the Mav 2.7 td is a third car only used for off road, rally marshalling and the occasional trip to work.

Cheers for that. I wil give them a try

Spent Weekend changing my rear brake shoes. Both drumd came off no problem but noticed that the rear brake auto adjuster was missing from the D/S. How do these work and any idea where I can get on from. Also does anyone have or can tell me where I can get a diagram of rear brakes?
